skirkland1980 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I just learned of a ceramic coating called cerakote. It appears to be for firearms but I was watching a technical video on YouTube and they were coating a header. Has anyone tried this before? What were your results?

Wedge Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I used it on one of my rifle, but i dont see it happening on an exhaust since its constent heat. Best bet would be to email cerakote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I use cerakote on all of the headers I do and have had great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roye@hrewheels.com Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I second Cockerstar, I used the "titanium" color cerakote over my cleaned up pacesetter. I bought the 4oz bottle for 35$ and used a diy spray kit from home depot. Basically a glass jar with an aerosol attachment to pressurize and disperse the paint. I did spray the part at work in one of our powder coat booths then baked it for an hour at 500 degrees. Looks great and has not peeled/chipped. It was recommended to me though not to use the air dry version for a header, it does not have the same characteristics as the heat to cure paint Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
